You either need to either:
1) use the following hack -

or
2) Upgrade to FCP 5

Motion 3.02 - cannot open any final cut pro projects

Please help. Motion won't open any Final Cut Pro projects, and I've been training to learn Motion, I'm stuck on this lesson because I can't open a FCP project. All FCP projects are greyed out when I go to Open in Motion, and even if I right click the project file and Open With and force Motion to, it cannot open the file. I can "Send To > Motion" in FCP and that works, but it's not the same.
I have FCP 6.06, both are part of Final Cut Studio 2 Academic version. Not that my FCP version matters, because the CD provided in my Motion 3 training book gave me a (probably) FCP 6.0 project file, even when I updated it, it won't work. Not even my old old FCP files from previous versions can open with Motion.
Much thanks.

But it can be done the other way, perhaps you reads about that. Motion files can be imported into FCP and used just like regular clips.

Cannot boot up Final Cut Express

When I try and launch the program, a pop up window opens called NON-WRITABLE SCRATCH DISKS
It instructs me that:
One or more of the scratch disks you have specified does not have read/write access.
To preserve the integrity of the data used by Final Cut Express, it is necessary to ensure read/write access to the following paths:
DroidX Mini/Final Cut Express Documents
When I click on Reset scratch disks, the path cannot be found. i have searched my macBook Pro (OS 10.8.3) and I cannot find it.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled Final Cut Express V 4.0.
The same thing has happened.
This is a bit too technical for my simple mind.
Can you advise? Thank you

I'm not sure why FCE points to this file as a Scratch Disc, bit it does????
Trash the FCE Preferences and this will reset FCE to it's first installed state.
Use this tool if you do not not how to trash Preferences:

Trashing the Prefs will not do any damage or remove existing clips.
Once done you should be able to re-set the Scratch Disc to your choice.
If you do nothing it will default to your system drive as the Scratch Disc.

TS1846 I cannot totally remove final cut pro 7 and now I cannot reinstall it. Does anyone know how to completely remove FCP7?

I was having problem with the share feature in FCP7. The Apple tech sent me some trouble shooting articles. Tried to follow them but I did not find the files for FCP7 in the receipt folder. Tried to reinstall the program but it does not start with a clean slate. The first time I installed FCP7 it asked for the serial number. This time it does not ask for anything and just starts to load but ends up spinning endlessly. There must be a way to remove everything and start out fresh again. What steps am I missing, which were not covered in the article?

download and run this to remove Final Cut:

Cannot export a final cut pro x project

Hi. Somehow fcpx is not allowing me to export/share my project.
There are no background tasks running. I would very appreciate if somebody is willing to help!
Thanks

Make sure the Project icon or Timeline is active.
If it still does not work, post the versions of Mac OS and FCP X please.

Final Cut Pro System support folder missing

I downloaded a cool plug in for a aged film look but I cannot find the "Final Cut Pro System support folder" in which i have to place this plug-in.
Any Ideas?

Your plugin goes into the Plugins folder.
You will need to authenticate with an Admin password to modify the folder.

I can't open a final cut pro x bundle.

Hello everyone!
My problem is: I cannot open my final cut pro x library. When I try to open it it says:
Fatal error. The database at /Volumes/Старый/STOCK_source/STOCK.fcpbundle/CurrentVersion.flexolibrary is corrupted. SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed'
abort() called
It happens to only one library. All the rest work fine.
I've got FCPX 10.1.2.
OS X 10.9.4
It doesn't open the projects, when I try to open them separately (choose "show contents")
Help me please... I really need that very bundle to work....

Russ, Adam, thank you very much!
First, I deleted the flexiolibrary, then the library opened in FCPX, but there were missing projects. Then I launched the latest backup and all worked well.
Thank you veeery much again!

Best Video format for Aperture, Final Cut Pro, iPad, and iPhones

I am moving all of my photos and video into Aperture and notice that only .MOV video form my iPhone 4 and .MP4 video from my go pro camera are displayed in Aperture browser mode. The .MPG files form my old Sony Powershot do not show up in the browser or in "Video" searches. I also have a set of very large (13GB) .AVI video files that I cannot import into Final Cut Pro.
My first question is:
If I want all of my videos to be completely compatible with all of my Apple products, should I convert everthing to .MOV format, and if so; whcih converter should I use?
My second question is:
My ten big (13gb) sets of vacation video are still on mini DV cassettes. I have already imported them into a PC as .AVI files. What should I convert them to, in order to edit them in Final Cut Pro; or should I import them again directly into Final Cut Pro? If so, which format is best?
Thank you for your advice,

"Is this even possible?."
No.
First, you don't need any additional software.
Second, every time video is processed it will change in some way. It will never be exactly the same as the original. It may in fact look better. However, you are not dealing with a top of the line camera. There are many compromises in it to make it affordable. These compromises in lens, chip size and quality and so on will be exacerbated as the media is processed. If the shooting conditions are not optimal, light, camera support, content, format, all of these will make reproducing the exact original more difficult and more improbable. That said AVCHD is inherently an excellent format and you should get excellent results. There is a great deal you can do in color correction and effects to improve the image and make it even more pleasing than the original, but this requires work and is not sonething achieved by clicking a button. It is also not something achieved by simply plugging in the camera and running the software. That is not how to get the best out of it. It's complex, professional software that's going to take time to learn, and video production is a complex process that takes time and effort to do really well.
My opinion which is worth what you paid for it.

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from. When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

Cannot see Users folder in Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 (after OS 10.9.3 update)

I have been working just fine with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1, on an hour long project with still and video content.
Yesterday, I received a new OS update to 10.9.3 and afterward, when I went to import some content into my project, FCP does not see the User folder. So I cannot find my documents, still photos, etc. or the motion project I had just completed to add credits to my movie.
My workaround was to copy the .MOV file from the Motion project to an external drive, where FCP can see anything I put in there... but it's very frustrating not to be able to import directly from my User drive, and have to copy everything to an external drive first.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
To be clear: When I click "Import Media" in FCP and select my main drive, I see only the following folders:
Applications
A folder with a bunch of numbers (not the User folder inside)
Library
Lost + Found
statistic log (dimmed)
System
There used to be a "Users" folder, in which I could find my Documents, Photos, Movile

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
do shell script "chflags nohidden /Users/" with administrator privileges
You may then need to relaunch the Finder.

What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

Hello,
I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
What is wrong?
is it my Macbook?

I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

Cannot purchase Final Cut Pro X. Get an error message from the App Store with (100).

Any thoughts?

Have you tried contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
iTunes support doesn't have phone support.

"Final Cut Pro Trial.app" can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.

Downloaded the FCP trial version from the Apple FCP site several times and still get the following error.
“Final Cut Pro Trial.app” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.
Safari downloaded this file today at 1:34 AM from www.apple.com.
Strange that Apple can't verify it's self.

To get around that, go to system preferences>security & privacy>allow apps loaded from anywhere. Then set it back to whatever you wish after you finish the download.
